"Daffodils that come before the swallow dares, and takes the winds of March with beauty"
- William Shakespeare
I desaturated this one to leave the texture with less colour
linking with this or that thursday, photo art friday, photo friday, flowers on saturday, pink saturday, weekly topshot, photo show off, I heart macro & macro monday
These beautiful narcissus are sitting next to me as I type, I bought two bunches last week and they're opening to reveal beautiful orange and reddish pink centres, these are my favourite kind of daffodils...I got a chance to take a few macros yesterday as the light was good...
I hope everyone has a great spring weekend and/or Easter, let's hope we can get outside for at least some of it and take some more pictures :)
Your edit makes these photos look like water colors ready to be printed and sold!
